Abstract excerpt
Two temperature-sensitive Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants, sec59-1 and dpm1-6, impaired, respectively, in dolichol kinase (Sec59p) and dolichyl phosphate mannose (DolPMan) synthase (Dpm1p), have an aberrant cell wall structure and composition. We tested their sensitivity to four classes of antifungal drugs used in clinical practice: 5-fluorocytosine, amphotericin B, caspofungin and itraconasole. The strains were...
